  We just closed our business here, and that's exactly what I had been
advising all of our Co-Op students for the last 3 years.  Whenever
possibile please don't choose a job in the computer field.

  We mainly delt with business clients, but did have a retail store left
running just because the rent was cheap.  After 11 years, I made the
decision to get out of the field because my pay cheques over the last 3
years have been smaller and smaller.

  So while we didn't go Broke, we might as well have.  

  Me?  I'm over qualified to do anything, so I start work monday as a Taxi
driver.  Just spent a ton of money enrolling in classes to do this.

  'Aint that the truth.
